Hello All!

This series is an attempt at fixing fakeroot, which has issues with
SElinux contexts (in extended attributes), as reported as one of our
bug report, but also reported in Fedora Core and Debian:
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1238802
    https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=799858

Since there has been absolutely no activity on the upstream (== Debian)
report since it was filled more than a year ago, follow the path
suggested in the FC report, and switch to using pseudo as a replacement
for fakeroot.

This can probably go in right now. If there are issues, we can still
revert this before the end of the stabilisation month.


Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
